Welcome to Jackahuahua.net ~ the website devoted to the crossbreed known as the Jackahuahua ~
A cross between two well loved breeds, the Jack Russell and the Chihuahua, this cross is becoming popular due to the great combination of two such wonderful breeds of small dog.
Jackahuahuas are charming, tough, devoted little dogs with a passion for living and having fun. They have an infusion of great charactarstics that give us a small dog full of personality and vigor.
Here at Jackahuahua.net my aim is build up knowledge of the roots of the cross and to give a sounding board for owners of these remarkable dogs.
To me there is more to this cross than a so called 'designer dog'. They really a great dog, full of energy, intelligence, humour and happiness. They give great doggie companionship in a small package.
I do not condone 'puppy farm' breeders who are breeding and selling this cross indiscrimately.
Please note that this is a 'crossbreed' they cannot be pedigree registered with the Kennel Club, some puppies are being advertised as Pedigree Pet Registered. Treat this with extreme care, you are NOT buying a pedigree dog. Also care should be taken of 'teacup' size pups.
In choosing a Jackahuahua, it is important to understand the characteristic's of both breeds, you are getting a lively bundle of dog with strong 'terrier' drive and enthusiasm. You are also getting a dog that loves attention, cuddles and laps!
I would also recommend that if you want to have a Jackahuahua that you take him or her to puppy classes, this is a very important start in life, and will help gain good communications between you and your dog.
If you have a picture and story about your own dealings with this wonderful crossbreed then please send in your pictures and words to Sioux@jackahuahua.net and I will publish on this site for others to see and understand more about these wonderful dogs.
I will continue to add to this website, so please do check back often for updates.
